Hey everyone Cleveland checking in... I'm on sarracenia.proboards and Icps. I have the same screen name for most everything. And i grow just about anything and everything. Plant obsession I guess...

Location: vogelgat,za - grown from seed obtained from icps seed bank. Just send me 5 bucks for shipping. Paypal preferred.

One of the most exciting things to come out of the ICPS conference was the announcement of the CPSG (Carnivorous Plant Specialist Group). Currently the group is really in its infancy. To be precise the website was launched about two days before the conference. Rob Cantley's lecture at the...

I will be giving a lecture at the upcoming ICPS conference on Sarracenia and part of my lecture is discussing the definition of a species and how much variation is allowed within a species before a plant needs to be split into a new species. Too often people get the idea that a species...

Oy, My name's Carson, I'm 19, and I've been growing CPs for about 14 years. It got really intense when I found a steady stream of them coming from a local nursery. Naturally I went nuts and haven't been cured since. I posted on this forum and others as a less mature middle- and high-schooler. I...

I have 6 of these plants to give away. They need to be divided badly. Can easily make 10 or so plants is they were split. Each if these are seedlings from seeds obtained from the icps seed bank. I have too many to deal with them myself. So the plan is for me to give them away to six lucky...

I'm (extremely) new to the hobby, though my enthusiasm for CP's goes back nearly 20 years (how can that be!?). As such, I've accumulated a teeny-tiny collection, while simultaneously devouring every F.A.Q., discussion, tutorial, opinion, etc. on the cultivation of CP's in general. I also own...

Hi guys! I suspect that I have a maxima that is beginning to show rust spots on the lower leaves. Upper leaves are fine and the thing is growing like mad (5-foot-long vines), so I will do some feeding to confirm it's not nutrition because I haven't fed in about a month. Anyway, I'm looking to...

Grow list (6/29/2016 updated) Drosera D. filiformis (temperate) - seed grown (ICPS seed bank)* D. filiformis 'Florida all red' - seed grown* D. binata [Coromandel, NZ] (warm temperate) - seed grown (ICPS seed bank) D. binata f. multifida f. extrema* D. binata ‘Marston Dragon'* D. intermedia...

Every dealing I've ever had with John Brittnacher, despite never having met him in person, has been fantastic. He is just so nice and knowledgeable. Almost 10 years ago I first encountered all his ICPS grow guides and through those he was just as instrumental in teaching me to grow CPs as The...

Drosera ultramafica × spatulata This plant was sold to another grower as Drosera ultramafica but being suspicious of the tissue culture source I compared it to the published description of the species. The plant fails to match on several key points - no stem growth, lack of red stipules and...

You are bidding on three Sarracenia flava coppertop plants each growing in a 3 inch pot. The plants are currently growing in three inch nursery pot. They are seedings grown from seeds obtained from the ICPS Seed Bank. So, how it will grow up will be uncertain. Plant will be selected at...

You are bidding on a large Sarracenia flava ornata. This plant is currently growing in a six inch nursery pot. It is a seeding grown from seeds obtained from the ICPS Seed Bank. So, how it will grow up will be uncertain. It has not reached its full potential and is flowering sized. The...

So. 60+mph gusts all day and night yesterday. Almost tornado force. I live on a hill with no tree cover. I'm at work--came home to find my greenhouse up in the air almost vertical. Greenhouse door wrenched open and turned it into a giant polycarb tumbleweed. Lifted off in one piece--with the...

I've been wondering for a long time why Genlisea is (or at least seems to be) so rare. The ICPS suggests growing them like terrestrial utrics, which doesn't seem particularly difficult to me. And a few sources mention that they can be weedy like terrestrial utrics. Yet I don't know any place in...

My "sunken bed" under construction. I am going to begin collecting and breeding Sarracenia on a massive level. I'll also be producing some seeds for the ICPS from this. So much empty space... Baby Drosophyllum D. x nagamoto Cleistocactus baumannii Pilosocereus azureus D. burmannii...

So after putting my entire Sarracenia collection on the back burner for years, I finally got around to taking a weekend to remove the shards of broken plastic that were once pots and clean and divide them. I'd like to trade these off for Nepenthes, Genlisea, or Sarracenia species varietals not...
